A lot has happened during my sophomore year of college. I was very active in my community group and ministries that I was involved with. I grew closer to my group of friends and have made amazing memories with them, and I have grown so much in my faith in God. Although my sophomore year was a pretty good overall, I have begun to face a lot of unknowns, as the year comes to an end.

I am going to school to be an elementary school teacher, and in order to get into that program, I have to pass the GKT. I have taken the test a couple of times and still have not attained the scores I need. Recently, I have started to question if this is what God wants me to be doing with my life. I know that I am so passionate about kids, and helping them grow and learn. I don't know if me not passing right away is just a bump in the road, or something more than that.

Lately, I have been filled with so much confusion and conflicting thoughts about what I am supposed to be doing. I know that God already has my whole life planned out, and He knows when and if I am going to ever pass this test. I am hopeful that one day I will be able to succeed in it and continue to chase my dreams of becoming a teacher. I have been doing some serious praying and just asking God to lead me into what I am supposed to be doing. It is scary to not know what the future holds, but it all fizzles down to just trusting God. Although trusting God with the unknowns of our life is hard, it's the best thing we can do when stuff like this shows up.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
